4 — On the Makers of the American Constitution
At the end of the American War of Independence a group of remarkable men, including Alexander Hamilton and James Madison , set about drawing up a constitution. Quite consciously they tried to work out a system that would give unity to the nation in such affairs as defence and foreign relations while preserving independence to the States in many other matters -which would ensure powerful central authority where it was needed while preserving the rights of the individual. In this lecture Lord Radcliffe talks about some of the considerations these men had in mind and the answers they found to some of the problems that arose.

Arnold Cooke wrote his Piano Concerto in 1939-40. Arrangements were made for it to be played at a Promenade Concert in 1943, but in the event this proved impossible and the work received its first performance when it was broadcast in November of that year. There are three movements: Allegro moderato, Poco lunio, and Allegro giocoso. H. R.
